[The Best of Times, The Worst of Times]
It's raining, it's pouring!
And it appears it will be doing so for at least another... week.
Ugh.
While.. it makes for lovely sleeping weather
it really sucks at the same time because.. I can't just lay around and sleep all day!
Although I'd like to!
Ryan's job in Brunswick was shut down until monday. They were talking about evacuating the islands and what not.
He's working in Savannah until they re-open it... thank god.
I was worried if they shut the job down that he would just be sitting here at home.. not making any money at all.
He got to the office early this morning (he's so used to leaving early to get to Brunswick on time) and the boss' called him in to have a "talk".
Turns out.. they are very impressed with all the work he's been doing and the extra effort he's put into being there every Saturday and keeping the crew in check.. getting the work done that they need done.. and doing it right the first time around.
And.. they gave him a raise!
This is a big deal because.. in the last three weeks.. eight people were fired for going in there and asking for a raise. Of all the people who are working in Brunswick.. Ryan has been with the company the longest.
And Ryan didn't even ask about it. They just gave it to him.
He will now be making $13.50 an hour and $20.25 for over time.
Wooo!
GOD IS GREAT!
I was just telling Ryan last night that this whole tropical storm was just God's way of giving him the weekend off so we can tend to the rest of the stuff we had to leave in Effingham in the storage building and at Judie's.
And then this morning.. after how worried I was about bills and the ticket he got and the tags for the car being due and everything else...
God goes and delivers again.
I am ecstatic!
I feel better today than I did yesterday.
but I am still extremely nauseated.
I ate a couple pieces of leftover grilled chicken just now
and I am praying that they stay in my stomach
but I don't know if they will
it's a fifty fifty chance at best
I've got to straighten up my house
being that I didnt do it yesterday like I should have.
I have laundry that needs to be washed and a pile of it to fold or hang up.
Ugh
my most hated of all chores!
I need to go to the dollar store and get a few things
and really.. I feel like crawling back in bed and passing out.
Maybe I can fit a nap in later.
I suppose I had better stop procrastinating and get something done.
